Tryndamere vs Master Yi Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Master Yi’s 64.7% winrate across 167 games on patch 16.13.1 comes largely from his two ultimates. Highlander boosts move and attack speed and makes him immune to slows, a purely offensive package. Undying Rage keeps him from dying for its duration. Once Master Yi’s health bar is empty, the fight is decided.
- Base stats: He has 696 health to his opponent’s 640 and 66 attack damage to their 65. Both sides share 175 attack range, 33 armor and 32 magic resist.
- Wuju Style lets his basic attacks deal true damage, which means 114.6 armor at level 18 only blunts part of it.
- Meditate heals him and lowers incoming damage, but it is a channel, so Mocking Shout followed by a Spinning Slash reposition interrupts it.
Alpha Strike grants Master Yi brief untargetability and an escape route, and with 355 move speed, ten more than the baseline, a fight he is losing can still end without a kill. The winrate pattern is straightforward: build Fury through attacks on minions, let his health dip to raise the Bloodlust bonus, and hold Spinning Slash until Meditate is already spent. The difficulty rating of 4 out of 5 keeps the execution requirement fairly light for both players. By level 18, the durability difference is 2,532 health and 114.6 armor versus 2,425 and 109.5. Grievous Wounds is the only item that noticeably reduces healing on either side.
